Altenew is hopping today, sharing their latest release!  This release is full of amazing Stand Alone Dies!  I am using 2 new die sets in today's project and they are so much fun!!


Check out the Linear Crossroads Die and the Focal Doodles Die set....


Altenew


I wanted to keep this white and bright so I used white cardstock for the Linear Crossroads Die in the background.  I added the Floral Doodles in white on top of a pattered paper base to give it a pop of color.  Finished it off with a sentiment!

Taylored Expression News!!

Hey friends!  Today is a great day at Taylored Expressions.  Have you seen all the adorable kits they have had over the past few months?  Well now you can buy the components separately!  I have a couple cards today using an item from a couple of the kits, along with other fun Taylored Expressions products to mix it up a little!


On this first project I am using the Frayed Edge Masking Stencil from the Field Notes Kit...


Taylored Expressions


I combined the Frayed Edge with the adorable Over the Rainbow Dies and the Over the Rainbow Sentiment Set.  I simply straightened out the sentiment on my Misti to stamp it in a straight line!


Taylored Expressions


This next card uses the Farm Fresh Critters from the Farm Fresh Kit...


Taylored Expressions


I wanted to keep this card super clean and simple so that cute little pig would stand out.  I stamped the fence on a white card panel along with the sentiment from the set Good Vibes.  I popped up the pig from the Farm Fresh Critters and added a little pink heart to finish it off.  


Taylored Expressions


Another great deal today is all the custom envelope seals are BOGO!!

I like to keep my cards quick and simple so I did some ink blending in the background of the first card, and then added the gnomes and a sentiment.  

To the last card, I kept it extra clean and simple by just using the gnomes peeking out of the bottom of the card and the adorable coordinating sentiment.

Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Snowdrops Release Blog Hop + Giveaway



Altenew has a brand new Craft-A-Flower today called the Snowdrop.  It is so delicate and SO gorgeous!  I have a super clean and simple card using today's new dies so let's get started!


Altenew


To create this card, I started with a light pink ink blending on the base of a white cardstock.  I die cut all the pieces of this flower and arranged them, gluing down the stems.  


Altenew


  I went in and stamped the sentiment along the side in black ink.  Next, I went in and added the pink blooms and their details to each of the stems and then finished the card off with some little black gems for some sparkle.
